Best wireless system on a budget? (for lavalier, but not including lav mic)
I think you should stay away from anything from Azden. Never heard a good thing about them. For $400, you should be able to get a used g2 set easily or even an old lectrosonic set if you're lucky.

4K and UltraHD Stuff, Cinemas, Camcorders, TVs
Can't wait for 4k computer monitors at 40+ inches. The only way 4k will make a noticable improved experience imo. No more need for multiple monitors.

Low self-noise shotgun microphone
I've got an NTG3 and it is the best mic I've owned. Before that I had an old mkh-416t which sounded great but the rode is a hotter mic with a lower noise floor and is pretty versatile. It's the only shotgun I've used that sounds …

WinRewrap - Batch ReWrap MTS to MP4/MOV .
I tried the XML rewrap for the first time today and have found a bug. When I tried to import the XML file into Davinci or back into Premiere, it can't find the clips because it is looking for, (for example) 0004..mov instead of 0004.mov It seem…

@svart - probably the deepest thing someone has said in this thread. At least it makes sense. But I got the popcorn out. Let the alienation continue.

If we're going down the hating route and lets face it, this thread is all about pure hating, there's one director I despise for his style over substance. Tim Burton.

Red Epic and Scarlet pricing reduction
4k has it's place in production but it's getting on ridiculous to be getting 4k in the home. Unless I'm sitting a couple of feet away from my screen, there's very little difference between 720p and 1080p from my couch on my modes…

WinRewrap - Batch ReWrap MTS to MP4/MOV .
Thanks for this handy tool. Is there any reason why the audio gets converted to aac? Can we have an option to keep the original audio format without conversion?

Headphones, best affordable
Highly recommend the Shure srh440. Great closed set of headphones with a nice balanced sound.

Film grain
funny that this has been mentioned. I've been creating my own grain plates in AE using the match grain effect using the samples from the Cinegrain website over the past day. Although its not an exact match, it comes pretty close and the results…

This really is an awesome start to what could be one of the most revolutionary color plugins out there. I'm currently testing out some screen grabs from some movies on my own clips and my jaw has dropped to how easy it is to use a professional …

wow, just checked the paper on the subject and you must be some kind of genius to make sense of all the algorithms and turn it into something. Would love to try it out. I'd definately put down money towards a plugin.

Premiere CS5: fade-in effect - what a neurotic PITA
As Jspatz explaine, Ctrl click the opacity line to add a keyframe on the clip. Ctrl click the keyframe again to add bezier curves so you can control the ease in or out. The same can be done with the audio levels. I don't see the difficulty here…

while its cool, that 3d mesh feature has got nothing to do with the siggraph demo.

More image manipulation magic from Siggraph
What's impressive is this has taken one of the most difficult things in regards to inserting 3d objects (lighting) and has made it a point and click affair. No more need for HDR chrome balls and hours spent tweaking lights. For video, you can j…

Weifeng Nest tripods
They look like a copy of the Miller carbon fibre solo legs. I'm using the solo legs with a DS-10 head and the best thing about it is it's light weight and can get very low to the ground. It's not very steady at the normal height thoug…
